STRAUSS ZELNICK ON GTA 6 MARKETING!
Before the Extended Look even dropped, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick described it as just the start:
“There’s appetizers, main course and dessert to follow.”
He called the Netflix presentation one of the hors d’oeuvres — meaning Rockstar still has plenty more to show before November 19.
Fans are expecting deeper looks at Leonida, activities, hunting, animals, and side content.
ASHA SHARMA DODGES ELDER SCROLLS 6 EXCLUSIVITY QUESTION!
Asked directly by BBC News at Gamescom whether The Elder Scrolls 6 will be an Xbox console exclusive, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma smiled and simply replied:
“It’s a beautiful game.”
She earlier noted that every platform needs some exclusive content, citing Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution, while stressing the need to keep the business healthy.
No confirmation either way.
PS5 PRO SOLD OUT IN THE US!
The PlayStation 5 Pro is now out of stock at all major U.S. retailers — including PlayStation Direct.

- Driving rebuilt from the ground up — GTA 4 weight + GTA 5 accessibility
- Higher top speeds + major handling differences between vehicles
Full fuel system: gas cars need refueling, EVs need charging (≈10 seconds) - Nitrous available for driving and racing

RUMOR: SONY MAY DELAY DIGITAL-ONLY PLANS!
According to Gamescom show-floor talk shared on a Eurogamer Spain podcast (via@MPFirst):

ROCKSTAR/TAKE-TWO LAWYERS ALLEGEDLY VISITED GUY WHO GUESSED GTA 6 LEAK DATE!
A Redditor (pilotx1970) who correctly predicted the date the recent GTA 6 leaks would drop claims Rockstar and Take-Two sent a lawyer to his house.
He insists it was nothing more than a lucky guess while predicting Trailer 3 timing.
The claim is circulating with video, but authenticity remains unconfirmed.

They allegedly provided:
➡️A screenshot from an April 2026 build
➡️Other material (including personal info of an employee)
It remains unclear if this build will be leaked further.
Important: None of this has been confirmed with solid, independent proof. Treat it as circulating claims only.
20th AUG 2026
GTA 6 LEAKERS APPEAR TO HAVE A PLAYABLE BUILD!
A new leaked video from CyberLeek shows the player (Jason) shooting the word “LEEK” into a wall with bullet holes.
Strong sign of real build access.

Rockstar continues to issue takedowns.

The same leaker behind the recent GTA 6 footage (CyberLeek) is now claiming the game features a currency that can be exchanged for real-life money, comparing it to systems like Robux.

13th -17th AUG 2026
90% OF GTA 6 PRE-ORDERS ARE FOR THE $100 EDITION!
Analysts are stunned by the numbers:
Around 89–90% of players are choosing the $100 Ultimate Edition over the $80 Standard version
“I have never seen a 90% premium share before. A 50% share is already a great number.”
They believe the Ultimate Edition offers enough exclusive content to justify the higher price for many fans.
Pre-order projection:
Up to 25 million units before launch (for comparison, Cyberpunk 2077 held the previous high at ~8 million).
That could generate around $2 billion in revenue at launch — potentially covering the game’s development costs.
